Hi Guido,
Sorry, no quick fix from me. My actual advise is to focus on other marketing areas where you will gain more value for effort. In particular, trying to keep track of all geospatial events, including ESRI events, worldwide, is probably not the first thing I’d try tackle.
Maybe help set up and stream line the process for approving requests for sponsorship from the marketing committee?
Maybe trace down from OSGeo Priorities to OSGeo Sponsor activities.
Maybe help with refining the OSGeo website.
Maybe contributing toward maintaining and improving the OSGeo-Live quickstarts, or the proposed OSGeo-Live notebooks?
Maybe help improve the translation process within OSGeo-Live docs. (Ideas have been floated in how to do this, we just need follow through from someone to make it happen)
Maybe review the OSGeo-Advocate list and clean up areas where people are not fitting in with guidelines. (For the most part, this is pretty good).
Maybe flesh out the contents of the FOSS4G Handbook.
(This is just a few random thoughts off the top of my head, I’m sure others could think of more)
Warm regards, Cameron

Cameron,
I agree 100%
Do you have some proposals on how to make this sustainable?
Right now it’s a git repo which allows anyone to make and edit and do a pull request. This is great for getting technical people involved, but I think we will need to make it a little more accessible for others…
I think it would be useful to make a way for people to tie into this page with meetup or other event sites. (eventbrite, lanyrd, etc…)
For the moment it’s a proof of concept to show that a nice clean list would be a great start.
also… I didn’t add it yet, but I assume we should be adding the esri events on here too… yes? I think having a listing of all events will make the user community on this site bigger.

Hi Guido,
Listing geospatial events is a good idea. I’ve seen a number of similar initiates start, but not stand the test of time.
Like any web page, the challenge is ensuring it remains continually up to date. This can be done by either having static content, or finding someone (or some people) willing to keep the content up to date.
It also helps to lots of people referencing the material, which in turn leads to attracting volunteers to keep the site up to date.
Warm regards, Cameron

Perhaps we a cimpler site that is a little more inviting to the public for listing the events?
Here is a mockup I put together… what do you think?

One thing I notice on twitter is regional foss4g events taking place that could use some love, Jeff McKenna is doing a great job asking for photos and retweeting logos.
We have also just had the “osgeo community” projects go live on the website, so it is time to make a press release or blog post explaining what that is about.

Thanks, I’ll check them out.
Is there a list of priorities for things that need to get updated?

I would be happy to help out with some work on building regular material
for distribution within the community.
Previous materials:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/marketing
In my experience a blog,
http://planet.osgeo.org/
newsletter,
or regular update
https://journal.osgeo.org/index.php/journal
can go a long way towards making the people feel
connected to the community.
Feel free to jump in and help update and improve any of those.
Thanks,
